Fort Benton'5 Appeal.

Secretary Browne of the Fort Benton
Board of Trade has issued circular letter
in which he says: "The great importance
that has been given the waterways of the
country under the operation of the Inter
State Commerce law, and the certainty of
the completion of the Manitoba railroad
through the heart of northern Montana
this season-giying choice of river Or rail
transportaion,-With the low rates guaran-
teed bysuch competition, will have a de-
cided effect in changing business methods
and trade channels in this PORTION of the
territory. The basis Of cheap commodities
is cheap transportation, and this is assured
to Fort Benton because of her position on
the Missouri river, supplemented by the
operation Of the Interstate Commerce
law, regulating railroad transportation.
The rates adopted by the Northern Pacific
railroad and those by the river route are
now known to the public, and the differ
ence in favor of the latter is considerable.
Heretofore large shippers on the lines Of
the railroads-say at Helena or Billings
have been favored with special rates; but
these are now prohibited under the severest
penalty, and discrimination of this nature
is most effectively done away with.

In Memory of George Lawrence ane
Clay Archer.

Sfdy EISi6fs
This is a tribute by one of their COM
rades to the memory of George Lawrence
and Clay Archer. who were killed by an
explosion last March in the big cut on the
Montana Central.
Come all you honestlaaorers who work upon the
Give ear unto 1ay nsournful lay, tn ough poorly it
be made.
And I'll relate the dreadful tate befeI some
friends of mine
At Kirkendau's headquarters on the Manitoba
line.
Twas on the seventh day Of March, about eleven
o'clock,
The men were startled at their work by a tremsn-
dous shock;
They rushed at onceupon the bank, and what was
their surprise
Two OF their comrades lay In death, forever
closed their eyes.
And one, whose name was Thomas Moore, re-
ceived a painful wound
He was lying with the other two unconscious on
the ground,
Ills head and face were badly burnt, his sight
Els wound, though not quite fatal, was a very
serious one.
To look upon those mangled men would melt a
heart of stone
Their flesh was strawn upon the earth by giant
powder blown;
Tbs fearful stuff they would restore to useful
ness and power
Exploded while twas being thawed-O, fatal
was the hour!
George Lawrence was our foreman, in Scotland
he was born,
And little did he think, poor boy, when going to
work that morn
That cruel death in horrid shape was waiting for
his prey,
impatient for a victim on that fatal seventh
day.
Clay Archer was another who Sc death I must
record
A drill was driven through his head, he never
spoke a word:
His home was in the sunny south where sweet
magno1ias bloom,
Bat now, alas! that once bright home is cast in
deepest gloom.
No more viii loving parents behold their boys
again.
No more will tender ~r,issi7es be sent DER land
or main.
For them the sun is oheerless, the flowers have
lost their smell
They've gone to regions far from this with
angles bright to dwell.

The Franks Of Western EleCtiOueeriue,

When Colonel Singleton was candi-
date for Congress from one of the hill
districts of Arkansas, he had rich ex-
perience. He soon became the butt of
his opponents jokes, and as there were
ten aspirants for the position his life
was an exaggerated burden. Once when
the candidates on horseback were going
to meet an appointment of oratorical
contest, Singleton fell behind, determine
ing to no longer submit to their raillery.
The party passed out of sight, leaving
the disconsolate candidate to his own
reflections. A light rain had fallen, and
when the party crosseda broad, shallow
creek, one young fellow conceived the
idea of joke. Suppose" said he,
that we take off our coats and wait un-
til Singleton comes in sight, when we
will put them on, giving to him the i'm
preston that the creek is deep. Wen
not say anything to him, and he will
think that we want him to lunge into
the water"
The idea was acted on. Pretty soon
Singleton came along.
That's all right" he yelled when he
saw the men hurriedly putting on their
coats. 81 understand you. Want me
to get wet, ehP"
He dismounted, and although the day
was fearfully cold, he took off his clothes,
mounted and carefully guiding the horse
he entered the stream. The water was
not more that six inches deep, and when
he perceived the cruel joke he stood up
in the stirrups and began to swear,
when his clothes fell into the water and
began to float away. In attempting to
reach over and regain them he fell, and
his horse staggering, stepped on him.
His rage was terrific, and when he ar
rayed himself in his garments he bor-
rowed gun at neighboring house
and chased his opponents fifteen miles,
totally forgetting his appointment to
speak. Little Rock Gazette.

This Maelstrom-This Wall Street.

New York is an iron-fronted, and
iron-hearted town. Typical of New
York entirely is its screaming, screech-
ing, swift and very crooked elevated
railroad. Iron. All iron. Iron and
paint.
OF course if commerce and money
getting-the saving of time for these
two purposes-is the aim and end Of
life, this monstrosity ought to be called
success. For it certainly saves time
and is q great rest to those who have
Frustrated themselves in arduous and
all-day battle with the many devices
and schemes and gambling games Of
Wall street.
But when we consider that these same
men never, from one years end to the
other, grow so much as one grain of
wheat or manufacture so much as one
lucifer match, we doubt if they deserve
rest.
Let us stick pin here and reflect a
moment on this fact! This maelstrom-
this Wall street-that draws to itself the
brain of the land, that engages in cease
less battle the best forces of the repub-
lie, never gives back in return one bis
cult to be eaten, one garment to be
worn, or one line to be read. Nothingi
For the thousands of lives spent there
Wall street gives back to us annually
many insane and utterly wrecked men.
We have, as the two or three monstros-
ties: Goulds, Vanderbilts. etc. We have,
set opposite these, many maniacs, many
CHASTITY corpse, pistol in hand, leaning
against wall in the dark; 10000 ruined

If so short time has wrought all this,
what may one not expect in the course
of century, Clearly something must
be done. At this rate some coarse and
cruel man will get hold of money enough
to not only "damn the public" but the
republic.
1t occurs to me that gambling
must be made odious; counted low and
vulgar as cards; despised and left to the
habitues of the prize-ring, the pool-den,
and the faro table.
Something certainly must be DONE
For state it as a cold, frozen truth that
any Judge Of New York, high or low,
member Of congress, and, indeed, every
dignitary as a rule, and even some of
the ministers, ''dabble'' in stocks.

Popular Errors Oorrectad.

The Iron Age corrects some popular
impressions respecting distances travers-
ed by vessels at sea. The knot and
the "mile" are terms often used inter.
changeable, but enormously so. The
fact is that mile is less than 81 per
cent Of knot Three and one-half miles
are equal, within very small fraction,
TO three knots. The knot is 6,082. &c
feet in length. The statute mile is s.
$50 feet. The result of this difference
is that the speed in miles per hour is al
ways considerably larger than when
stated in knots, and If person forgets
this and states speed as so many knots
when it was really so many miles, he
may be given figures verging on the in
credible. When we hear parties say that
such a vessel is capable Of making
twenty knots per hour, we usually take
the statement with very large grain Of
salt, for twenty knots is 1904 miles per
hour, q speed which very few vessels
have made, and il is doubted by some
WHO have the best opportunity for max.
ing actual measurements whether any
vessel has ever made twenty-five miles
In sixty minutes. 1t has been said that
some OF the English torpedo boats have
made as high as twenty-four or twenty
five knots. Twenty-f0ur knots are over
twenty-soven and a half miles per hour,
and twenty-five knots are upward Of
twenty-eighi and thrcc-quarter miles an
hopr, distances that arc incredible.

A VALENTINE.

While looking over letters old and yellow,
came across gorgeous valentine.
Quite covered DER with Cupids and with roses.
Sent to me years ago. when youth was mine.
Ali well mind the day that receivedit-
1t seems at least a century ago;
Opened 1t with trembling haste and breathlcss-
With sweet expectancy my cheeks did glow.
how bright and beautiful looked then the roses
Through all the years they've kept their change
less hue;
read and read again the tender verses.
And treasured them as youth and love can do.
The Cupids now look very fiat and stupid.
Up there on top golden bar astride;
Tho verses. too now sound trine silly:
Youths rosy spectacles I've laid aside.
But as 1 sit and hold the gaudy tribe.
My lost youth rises up before my view
Thepreeious years when were all Summer.
When ev'ry path lay meath skies bright and blue.
How gladly would give the mite of wisdom
since have gathered to go back once more
And feel again the thrill Of expectation
AS when the postnan left this at my door.
This foolish little piece of silk and paper
Is fadeless, while my youth is dead and gone;
The hand that wrote the verses cold and pulseless
And yet unchanged. unaltcrcd is the song.
Why keep reminders of the bright days vanished?
So. valentine, bid you now goodbye;
Iwatch the flame swell up and blight your roses.
And from my heart comes one long, wistful sigh.
Faith Walton. In Chicago Trtbune
